grunt-setver

Set version according to git tags.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-setver --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-setver');

The "setver" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named setver to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  setver: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

The "setver" task will run without explictt configuration, updating package.json

grunt.initConfig({
  setver: {
    options: {
      key: 'version2 ',
      file: 'package2.json',
    },
  },
});

Setting versions in multiple files

Use "setverM" multitask to work on multiple files.

grunt.initConfig({
  setverM: {
    options: {},
    src: [
      'package.json',
      'submodule1/package.json',
      'submodule2/package.json',
    ],
  },
});
